STRATFORD Upon-Avon Boat Club’s adaptive rower Isaac Clarkson has earned a coveted place on the Para Rowing Foundation’s (PRF) intensive training camp.
PR3 sculler Clarkson is included in the squad alongside seven other rowers from around the world. The camp will take place in Portugal in March later this year.
The camp offers top-tier coaching, expert sports psychology and a collaborative environment.
Stratford’s head adaptive coach, Mark Dewdney said: “Hearty congratulations to Isaac, he had a very strong case.
“This year he is the one in the squad who met the criteria but he has earned this opportunity through his own efforts.”
Athletes from Kenya, Canada, The Netherlands, Lithuania, England, Latvia, Ireland and Germany will make up the camp.
And the camp focuses on building skills, enhancing performance and fostering a global community.
Executive chair of the Para Rowing Foundation board, Steven Dowd added: “We are looking forward to hosting PRF’s fifth intensive training week amongst such a talented group of athletes this year.
“The diversity of this group of athletes highlights the global reach of para rowing, and we are excited how each athlete will contribute to the future of the sport.”
The PRF is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting inclusivity in rowing.
This is achieved by expanding global opportunities and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
